2.0

Powell writes amazing and weird stories in the third person that explore characters that seem entirely real and entirely original. Powell writes awful, indulgent stories in the first person that try hard to escape from the demands of narrative but just fall into a kind of navel-gazing beatnik ramble. Too many of the latter in this volume.
